<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
our office has all laptops and they connect through wireless. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
there is a dhcp server on the subnet to give out ip addresses to the new laptops and the old desktops ( almost all the desktops are gone ). <br />
<br />
How do I handle dhcp on the nat router ? &nbsp;Now it is taking one of the good ip addresses and giving out 192.168.1.x ip addresses. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Can a wireless router ( nighthawk 6 netgear router ) deal with it not being the dhcp server ? &nbsp;How do I take care of that. <br />

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
